Today marks the birth of crack FBI agent and medical doctor, Dana Scully. Through abductions, alien babies, flukemen, cancer, and all manner of threatening strangeness, Agent Scully has remained a brave voice of reason in weird world. Let's all chip in and buy her an Apollo 11 keychain

We went to a matineΓ© performance of The Crucible in the Gaiety Theatre earlier. Loved it, particularly as we were in Salem, Massachusetts last summer to visit the sites.
Highly recommended.
The Gaiety Theatre is such a gorgeous venue

How in 2026 can you be "astonished" that racist abuse is both overwhelming and allowed on a platform run by a literal, outspoken white nationalist?

Meanwhile, I and lots like me are quietly living our best lives. It must really annoy Julie.

I do fear for those coming after me, the young people struggling, which is why I remain visible and show them that despite the bigotry, you can live a fabulous life, love, laugh and have a career β€οΈπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

Good morning from Holly and me out for our walk this morning. It was very mild and I had to take my wooly hat off towards the end of our 6.5km walk.

Holly wasn't wearing a hat.

I hope you have a lovely Saturday and if you're around I'm on the wireless from 11am to 2pm πŸŽ™οΈ πŸ“» @kfmradio.bsky.social πŸ––

Really tired last night after a loooong week.
But I'm refreshed this morning. Holly will get an extra long walk today.
I had a lot of disturbing dreams though which seems to be reflected in the amount of REM sleep stages πŸ‘‡

Letter in the Irish Press

#OTD in 1985, the Irish government passed the Health (Family Planning) (Amendment) Act 1985, legalizing the sale of non-medical contraceptives (such as condoms and spermicides) to adults over 18 without a prescription. It was passed by a narrow 83–80 vote.

Here's a mother's advice on condoms πŸ‘‡
